Have the dog alerts any significance?

[pathfinder73]

It's not hard. If Eddie barks it's a positive alert - wardrobe, sofa, garden, clothes, car etc. The dogs trained every day in this work. The police have to prove the alerts like in the Prout case not the dog.
 
"What we should understand with this dog is that he only barks when he finds something, he won't bark at any other times. He won't bark at other dogs, he won't bark at strangers, he won't bark when somebody knocks on the door or anything like that. The only times I've ever known him bark since I've got him as a small puppy a) for his dinner and that's just excitement and that's one of the training methods we use to teach to bark when we want him to and when he actually finds something, he won't bark at other dogs, he won't bark at strangers, he won't bark when somebody knocks on the door or something like that, so again I would say that's a positive indication."

Tell me how the alerts can play any art in that
They totally cannot
Tell me what evidence might be found that would make the alerts useful
There is none
Even if a body was found that would not indicate death in the apartment

Depends surely where a body were to be found,if in Portugal then it lead to further question,but if the latest crap news from the papers regarding a snatch squad and Belgium is anything to go by then the likelihood of OG or even the PJ finding one is zero.

Best ask the judge,they came under the heading of proved facts. Nos 6 and 7.

It was a proved fact that it was in Amaral's book,  NOT a fact that Eddie alerted to cadaver scent in 5a.

Did Keela and Eddie alert to the same key fob?  There is no reason why the same key fob can't have blood on it and cadaver odour on it too.

The dog EVRD is trained using whole and disintegrated material, blood, bone tissue, teeth, etc. and decomposed cross-contaminants. The dog will recognize all or parts of a human cadaver. He is not trained for 'live' human odours; no trained dog will recognize the smell of 'fresh blood'. They find, however, and give the alert for dried blood from a live human being.


NOTE - They find,  however,  and give the alert for dried blood from a live human being.

Gerry has never revealed how he bled on the car key as alerted by those pesky unreliable dogs

Where does it say that?

If a body were found in Luz then the alerts take on a whole new significance, don't you understand this basic concept?

Your "no trained dog will recognize the smell of 'fresh blood'" comment is inaccurate as any dog can be trained to detect any scent and that includes fresh human blood.

You don't understand
If a body is found in Luz it does not mean Maddie died in the apartment

Gerry has never revealed how he bled on the car key as alerted by those pesky unreliable dogs 

Never revealed?

Even if he knows (and he probably doesn't) why should he?

A slight graze on a finger and blood transfers to the ignition key.

No great mystery.

[jassi]

If nobody knows, then it is a mystery and any explanation is mere supposition 

[Angelo222]

you have questioned the alert to cuddle cat so you admit the alerts are questionable

I don't believe in coincidences.  Some alerts are questionable but the number of alerts is in itself extremely suspicious.

Why do you think Mr Grime cannot answer questions on this forum?

It doesn't mean she did but reveals the possibility that she might have.  I refer you to the posts on cadaverine transfer.
